‘Always together in love’: Zakir’s kin share first post on Instagram after his death
Days after Zakir Hussain was laid to rest at a San Francisco cemetery, the family of the tabla maestro shared a moving post on his official Instagram account on Sunday.
It marks the first post on the social media page of Hussain since his death at a San Francisco hospital early last week due to complications arising from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease.
The undated black-and-white picture shows the hands of Hussain, his wife Antonia Minnecola, daughters Anisa Qureshi and Isabella Qureshi held tightly together.
“Always together in love,” read the caption of the post, tagging the four members of Hussain’s kin.
The post has since received over 21,000 likes, around 1,000 comments and more than 300 shares on Instagram.
Hussain’s followers, including his Shakti bandmate Shankar Mahadevan, musicians Karsh Kale, Ankur Tewari, Hariharan and Pakistani artiste Ali Sethi, liked the post.
